I'm enjoying this PS1 era of games. 

I had to play this one at midnight... Still very good game! I love the aesthetic and feel of the game, A silent biscuits siren. Well done!

Developer

Did it give you a midnight scare? :D

Glad you liked it! Thank you for playing!

Weird and amazing game! Nice!

Developer

Thank you! It is an honor for us to be perceived as weird and amazing! :D

A hilariously morbid setting! Y’all did a great job of building such a solid vibe with the setting and music. I’m not sure if it was just my browser, but I didn’t hear any SFX during the gameplay and could hear only the background music. I still enjoyed it anyway. :)

Well done!

Developer

Hi! Thank you a lot for playing and writing to us! We are very grateful! Happy that you enjoyed our game. There is actually not many sounds in the Lonely Boy - just music and the steps - that's it :)

Submitted(+2)

The game is just fantastic, the atmosphere the music, the feeling of loneliness as a dog who almost cannot live without humans is captured perfectly, and the recreation of humans to cope with loneliness really speaks about how in real work people do try to create lost friends to cope with drowning loneliness. Great work guys!!

Developer

Thank you a lot! Especially great that you find it relatable to a real life! We really wanted to made something to think about and that makes you feel deeply.

The vibes were weird, very much enjoyed collecting body parts, who knew!

Developer

Hi! He-he! Thank you for playing! Such a joy to hear you liked our bizarre idea! ^^

Submitted(+2)

Really cool and unique atmosphere, I really liked the idea and premise! Unfortunately I couldn't get any of the body parts to go into or stay in my trolley though. But otherwise great job

Developer(+1)

Hi! Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of our game! Sorry to hear about the body part! It is a bug that escaped our attention  :(

Submitted(+2)

lol! the music and poor sad-face doggo made this feel kinda ... risky! :P but somehow a lot of fun?!

Developer

Yeahhh! Happy to hear our game was fun for you! Thank you for giving it a try! :)

Submitted(+2)

Pretty creepy. The controls were a little awkward and I couldn’t find any biscuits.

Developer

Hi! Thank you for checking our game! Sorry to hear about your experience! We uploaded a video with a walkthrough if that could be any help!

Submitted(+2)

Great work! I really liked the graphics and the design of the game. It looks spectacular. Definitely a unique game, would recommend giving it a try.

Developer

Well that was.... definitively an experience. Weird? yes. creepy? sure. but 10/10 

Developer(+1)

Hahaha! Thank you! Very happy that our game managed to leave such an impression! 

Submitted(+2)

That was very eerie and the dog gives me chills.
Great work. The first game I saw so far that was really different from the rest. In a good way.

Nicely done!

Developer

Hi! Thank you so much! It is very honorable to us that the Lonely Boy is stood out like this in your experience. Very grateful for your comment! 

Submitted(+2)

Nice job creating the weird vibe, that kept me interested to keep looking around.

A little quality of life suggestion would be to allow players to hold left button to move, rather than spam clicking.

Cool style and feel to the game.

Developer

Hi! Thank you! Really happy you played our game and found it enjoyable! Thank you for sharing! 

Interesting suggestion - I think we never even thought of that :D 

Submitted(+2)

Loved your artstyle and story for this game and the music as well, little haunted objects on your path also seems interesting lol. It's quite polished I would say. Good job !

Please check out my game as well :D

Developer

Hi! Thank you so much for feedback and playing Lonely Boy! We are very grateful to hear that you loved our artstyle, story and music <3

Would love to check your game! 

Submitted(+2)

Great entry! The whole art direction and atmosphere are great. Some of the body parts were haunted, though, and did not want to get into the cart. Very fun and creepy game, congratulations!

Developer

Hi! Thank you for checking our game! That's amazing that you had fun with it, we are grateful for feedback and your time! 

The body parts thing is a bug that is shown only on some computers, and we are working to fix it :D

Great atmosphere and a creepy look, I really like that! It was a good and original game! +1 rating!
Don’t hesitate to rate my game too ;)

This game has such a unique and memorable atmosphere! The way you blended the cute dog with the creepy, post-apocalyptic world is done so well. A very cool and polished experience. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for your review! We are very grateful to hear your opinion and happy you liked our game!

A well polished game, those heads were creepy as hell.

Developer

Thank you! I am super glad that you feel that way!

Submitted(+2)

I love the visuals cute and kinda creepy.  But my cart was stuck somewhere and i lost it so i couldn't finish :d Over all nice game. ^^

Developer(+1)

Hi! Thanks for checking our game! Glad you liked it! Sorry about the cart though!

Submitted(+2)

I really liked the atmosphere, at first the map seems huge, but you quickly remember where everything is and it becomes easier to navigate. I'm glad that the dog found a biscuit and a friend at the same time

Developer(+1)

Ahh! How marvelous to read it! Very happy you learned to navigate the map and had fun with the story! Thank you so much for playing and writing feedback!
